Plans

I read in Proverbs 16 today for my devotions. Verse 9 says, "A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps." When I read this verse I had to stop and think. Then I remembered what verse 1 said, "The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord." I was realizing that these verses were saying very similar things. I may plan how my day, month, year, or life may go; arranging things in a certain order. I make plans for how I am plans for my actions, how I will live my life. The thing that I need to remember is that God is sovereign over all things. God has perfect plans for me. I need to trust His sovereignty even when it seems to be different than my own ideas. I need to make sure as I plan that my ways please the Lord. God is sovereign! I should strive to make plans that are in accordence to what His Word says I should be doing.
